This is so true. A month or two goes by and it is like learning certain pieces of code over again.

This codebase had 50+ main() functions and 80+ Material App. 5 of them are nested MaterialApp
Redundant widgets, security leaks, and print Sensitive information from the server to console without using (kDebugMode), therefore in prod, the data are leaked.
I refactored until I screamed.
So I left a gift inside.

Ed is responsible for servers in the IT department at work. He is an electrical that does a lot of electronic/electrical design work. So IT concerns are not as high as his design work. Today we had a server fail due to aging hardware. We have another guy that handles IT stuff for Ed. So I went to the IT guy and said:
So I understand the server has Electronic Dysfunction. Is Ed having trouble keeping his server up?

So there is this discussion about killing children in code. Someone pops in with this:
"I do remember a post from a guy who actually got pulled into an HR talk, to ask why he'd littered the code with references to killing children and removing children from their parents. Imagine trying to explain to a person who's never programmed, that Kill(parent.child)is a perfectly standard phrasing and not a latent psychosis that should be reported to the police."
First I think who is the idiot that reported this? Then I think who is the HR idiot that didn't do a google search or talk to the software manager? So many people had to fail at basic thinking for this to get this far.
Then I think also. Two things can be true at the same time. The person writing this code could also harbor latent desires to kill children. But can hide their sickness in plain sight. CS could just be a place for psychopaths to talk about the true serial killer thoughts.
I was wondering what this would look like. Maybe the psycho programmer will allocate extra hidden children that will get created and destroyed without anyone knowing the better. Maybe they only need 10 children for the code, but they allocate 100. That is 90 children they can create and destroy that only they know about.
Is balancing a tree really about cycles to read the data? Or is this some sort of karma balancing with latent desires to add or remove children with different karma leanings? Linked lists? Obviously only a psychopath would make a singly linked list.
Then I read posts on devrant and think there is probably at least one psychopath here that looks up to Anakin. We know you are here! You can't hide forever.

Yes, I had the opportunity to buy any mouse in the world, but I picked a weird apple one with one physical button acting as two separate buttons, a trackball for scroll wheel (it's neat to scroll horizontally though, not gonna lie), virtual middle button, virtual squeeze sensor and a tiny internal speaker. Yes, I'm an idiot.
But hear me out. When I was a child, I accidentally wandered into an apple store. I was blown away by what their UIs looked like (it was a Leopard era, maybe Tiger, I'm not sure). I still remember how I approached a desk where an iMac stood, and this was the mouse it came with. This. This very mouse was my first experience with apple. and oh boy, how memorable it was, and how much I wanted a macbook of my own.
Apple still means a lot to me. It's so unfortunate that their privacy approach went real bad real fast. Somehow when people say that nintendo, which is a shitty anti-consumer company, means a lot to them, it's suddenly okay, because that shitty anti-consumer company is based in japan. mark my words, if apple was a japanese company, it would've been much worse, but it wouldn't have been hated as much.
I now possess my childhood dream, or at least its fragment: the best mouse that apple ever made. it feels comfy and substantial. modern flat magic mouse is a disgrace. if you're still an apple user (my condolences), buy a mighty mouse on ebay. wireless ones do exist, they take regular batteries.
Oh, and this mouse works perfectly with Debian out of the box. If you pair it with a Mac, you can see probably the oldest bit of UI that's still in modern os --- the mighty mouse settings panel. It's there, unchanged since the 2000s.

"We're excited to announce that we've disabled the deprecated Storefront Toolkit by default for new....."
I am also so freaking "excited" that you have also disabled the close button on the popup when you login to Salesforce BM genius.
How the hell i am suppose to use SFBM now?!! developer tool to remove the popup markup?!
Learn more?? I don't need FAQ doc, I need the popup closed!!!

Piratesoftware's "2D Raytracing" code is just shitty radial light diffusion with collision checks. The worst part is he's individually checking each pixel and manually adjusting the lighting pixel by pixel😭 🙏
Does anyone else feel like Piratesoftware's content is just dedicated to people starting out with coding and game dev? Should this piece of shit be the person these newbie devs look up to? What a fucktard. This is the dude who has "DECADES OF INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE" hacking windmills and sending emails like "please let me hack you" in blizzard
